The Billionaire's Love Conquest [UNEDITED]

Chapter 21: The Past

"He raped you Mom?" he asked with his voice full of disbelief. He was looking at me, sick and disgusted.

He looks flabbergasted, his jaw clenched and rooted.

I nod in agreement.

"Why did you just tell me this now, mom? I've been asking you this million times? Why?" he asked hysterically. Tears pooling his eyes while he's shaking his head in utter disbelief.

I thought I could stay cool and calm, but my unfazed pose withered and I felt the tears, uncontrolled, streamed down my cheeks.

"Looking at you now, I forgave him, though it's hard to forget what he did, but because of you, everything changed. I understand why he did that. He just loves me so much that his reason was blinded with jealousy and did the wrong thing that he could only think to have me. And the wrong was made it right by having you?" I cried though it still hurt me every time that the past crosses my mind, but fate has its own way to tossed two people together. I maybe was meant for him. I don't know how he crept into my heart, but I found myself falling for him unconsciously.

"I broke off the engagement. Tony left Spain and went back to the states and then focused himself in his business and heard nothing about him then. I decided to marry your dad when I found out I'm pregnant with you. Your dad live in agony and guilt. He was never happy, all he did was to make me happy to make up with the guilt that lives in his heart." I added. He was silent now. I don't know what he's thinking. I just hope he will find in his heart that forgiveness for his father.

I made a short pause, sighing momentarily. "Then when you were born, we are so happy. Your dad was the happiest. He adored you and did everything to give you whatever you want. Then when you turned five, I saw Tony again in a charity ball where he was with his wife. The love we thought was gone came back and we decided to see each other discreetly," I continued.

"When you saw us kissing that was a goodbye kiss. We just decided to cut everything and tried to forget everything slowly, because every happiness we felt, we are also inflicting deep wounds to you, to Nicki, Gail, and your dad. It was the best decision we made. I learned to love your dad and him to Gail, but he lost Gail before he could start." I felt that guilty feeling again. I may have asked for Gail's forgiveness but still I feel guilty every time I think about it.

He was silent after I told him everything. He seems lost in his thoughts.

"Please don't hate your dad, sweetheart!" I beg.

"But why didn't you tell me this before, mom? Why did you have to wait for this long?" he asked with his soft voice.

"Because I don't want to tarnished everything that you and your dad shared. You look highly of him and I don't wanna ruin it," I explained solemnly.

"I don't know how I felt after knowing it all, mom to be honest," he replied bitterly as he leaned his back on the couch.

"Just forget everything I said sweetheart and start a new. Just don't make any aggressive decisions that would hurt anyone. Think about the consequences so you won't repeat our mistake." I advised as I run my hands over his cheeks.

"Why are you here, by the way, mom?" he asked suddenly.

"Oh, I left you a message and you didn't call back so I decided to drop by," I replied casually. "Your dad and I are going to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary."

We decided to celebrate it as a start over on our relationship. For the past years since my son left for London, our relationship has become sweeter. I don't know how it happened but I found myself loving him already.
